<div> </div>
</div>
<div>
<div dir="ltr">
<div>I have created kernel with an initramfs bundled that uses "initramfs-live-boot" to search for a "root.img" file on any mounted media devices (/media/*/root.img). I have added some rules to udev to automount a block device correctly.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>However, when I attempt to create the live image, it depends on syslinux, which isn't available for ARM.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>
<div>ERROR: Nothing PROVIDES 'syslinux'</div>
<div>ERROR: syslinux was skipped: incompatible with host arm-poky-linux-gnueabi (not in COMPATIBLE_HOST)</div>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I have the following in my image.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>
<div>IMAGE_FSTYPES = "live"</div>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Why do we need the syslinux dependency? I have already booted my kernel via u-boot, so it seems unnecessary. Is there another IMAGE_FSTYPE that is compatible with the "initramfs-live-boot" package? cramfs? If so, do I need to change the "init-live.sh"
script in "initramfs-live-boot" to support this new file type?</div>
